How to Configure Microsoft Xbox 360 on Your Home Network

Using your Xbox controller, navigate to the My Xbox menu and select Console Settings. Use your controller to navigate down the menu and select Network Settings.

On the left side of the controller, you’ll see a four-way directional button (known as a D-pad) that lets you maneuver around the screen to select menu items. In the middle, you’ll see a single, lit button with a stylized X on it: This is the Guide button, used to turn the console on and off and to open the Guide or system settings.

On the right side, you’ll see four buttons (A, B, X, and Y) used to take actions on the screen. Typically there will be a guide onscreen for which button to use for a particular action (for example, A to save, B to go back). If you’re in doubt, the A button is usually your first choice to select a menu item that you’ve highlighted on the screen with D-Pad.
